I had every intention of waiting for this particular flashback to end before taking steps to review its intricacies, mostly because a number of the earlier chapters were so uneventful.
However this is starting to feel less like a basic flashback and more like a mini arc of its own, which isn't a bad thing, granting us the opportunity to understand and follow the progress of this character formally presumed to be the god of the Magi world.
And besides, the past few chapters have been quite action packed, going about laying open all the secrets of the Magi world, so many little details that we (or at least I) paid little heed to but which are suddenly proving to be quite important to the structure of the Magi universe.
Young Solomon attempts to break away from the evils of his Father David, in his attempts to unite the world under the teachings of Illah, resisting the campaigns of the orthodox authorities with the assistance of a select few helpers, magicians in their own right, whose names later take on greater significance as the various DJinn of the current Magi world.
I have to say that Shinobu Ohtaka's art has faltered somewhat in some of these recent chapters, especially during battle scenes, where some panels came off as somewhat messy, making very little sense in others. And while I have come up against these faults before in Magi, they have never affected my enjoyment of the series as they did with this flash back.
A flash back that is actually so much more fleshed out than I thought it would be; if these past few chapters have achieved one thing, it has been to allow us a true glimpse into life as it was before the great catastrophe of Alma Toran, presenting the various Djinn as they were before acquiring their current status.
Does this really change events on the ground though? I would say, yes. After all we see what humanity was like before acquiring magic, that they were little more than insects to be hunted by the monsters that roamed Alma Toran, that they were granted power by Illah because they more than anyone else knew what it felt like to be weak and would know best how to temper their greed; that these same humans went about doing to other species what was done to them.
Looking back on those events, the current stand off fares no different; you have two rulers in Kouen and Sinbad, one seemingly righteous and another evil, but both wanting the best for their world and both doing whatever it takes to achieve peace, even bringing about great war.
Aladdin stands in the place of Solomon, a true seeker of peace, one that will see the races united on an equal playing field, with no interest in ruling, but only looking for the best in his comrades and enemies; well, maybe comparing Aladdin to Solomon is a bit of a stretch, because Aladdin is indeed much more innocent and pure than his comrades.
Yet only because he doesn't have the power that Sinbad has; which Solomon also possessed, so greatly endowed with skill and magic that many around him where ready to worship him; just like Sinbad who dazzles everyone he meets. And while Solomon saw his own short comings and gathered people around him to keep him in check, Sinbad seems to have lost his way a long time ago.
So maybe Sinbad is truly Solomon's incarnation; because we know things went wrong in Solomon's utopia; he too must have fallen. And why wouldn't Aladdin then reveal these events to the most powerful persons in the world, if he can see them slowly starting to repeat the mistakes of Alma Toran.
+The primary goal of this flashback seems to be to flesh out the grand characters of the current magi world, and it is doing a hell of a job, laying out the secrets of the world's creation, the various beasts that inhabited the planet before humans, the source of the DJinn equip theory, the mechanisms behind Magoi and rukh control, even providing a glimpse at the early life of what must only be Gyokuen.
I mean, we all agree that Sheba is Gyokuen, right? Who else could she be? And why place so much focus around her if she is not growing up to be the great evil of the Alma Toran world? We saw just how nasty she was as a child. That genocidal hate doesn't go away after just a few years and even Solomon commented on seeing that rage hiding about behind her eyes.
Will she be the one to bring Solomon to his knees? Or does his downfall connect somewhat to the works of his father, David, in bringing about the death of their god, who we can guess will become the source of black rukh and that 'father' thing we witnessed in the previous arc.
So many questions littered among so many answers being provided in these chapters. Following the conclusion of Aladdin's little show and tell, I cannot wait to witness the reaction among his guests, Kouen and Sinbad most of all.
IS this really the beginning of war? Will Alibaba really betray Sinbad? Because for all his deviousness, we know Sinbad stands as the more righteous of the two. Is Yunan a descendant of the mother dragons? And how about the Fanalis and their connection to the red lions, one of the two earliest inhabitants of Alma Toran?
Note: Has anyone read chapter 222.5 of Magi? Because I think Hiro Mashima needs to have a read of what is essentially a five page chapter special, which somehow manages to drastically progress the Magi story .
Hiro, this is how you do a manga special, one that takes an already complex story and further entangles it, allowing David's time line to intertwine with the current world, giving us a glimpse at the master plan of his intentions, an inkling of the insight he possessed in foretelling the events of the current Magi world and taking steps to manipulate events to his own end.
Five pages; and all Hiro presents us in his 20 something page specials are stories about missing cats and the like. Really, Hiro?
RATING: 6/10, The Alma Toran Arc has been all but flawless, introducing a wealth of well developed and highly entertaining characters; and if not for the sometimes wonky art, these chapters would have had a higher rating.
I almost didn't bother reviewing this chapter Magi, if not for the second half that somewhat attempted to progress the story, beyond the comedic elements of Alibaba and crew.
Alibaba and Morgiana clear up their misunderstanding, with Alibaba coming across as a considerable embarrassment. Aladdin is visited by Yunan, Aladdin revealing that he had taught Morgiana how to use her household vessels as well as teaching her the Toran language. It is revealed that Sinbad is eavesdropping on their conversation.
Their conversation quickly turns sour, Aladdin realizing that the pair isn't on the best of terms.
Finally it seems like Magi is taking strides to progress the plot; the first half of this chapter continued with the motif of the last two chapters, focusing on Alibaba's little adventure, which proves somewhat humorous, with Mori admitting her lacking knowledge in the area of relationships. It seems the purpose of the scene though was to cement the loyalty Alibaba's household held for him, the trio commending Alibaba for his honesty.
Clearly the entire scene was crafted with comedy in mind, yet it wasn't completely wasteful, bringing Alibaba forth as a man that wears his heart on his sleeve, earning the respect of his household in the process.
The core of the chapter though lay in the second half, with Yunan's emergence allowing us to finally see the hostility between the magi and Sinbad manifest. We had mostly speculated from their initial meeting during father's defeat that Sinbad and Yunan had an unpleasant past. Sinbad was clearly not comfortable with the time Mori had spend with Yunan.
Yet even then they managed to remain fairly civil with each other. This chapter seems to highlight that hostility in a harsher light. We have known for a while that Sinbad had his unpleasant side, specifically the fact that he was partially depraved, his fairly underhanded tactics, be it using Alibaba, trying to acquire Aladdin's wisdom, using the Koe empire princess' feelings for him to manipulate her and so on; and i assumed that it was because of how far Sinbad was willing to go to safe guard Sindria that placed him on Yunan's bad side.
Yet it seems like Yunan isn't the hero he initially seemed; after all we know that whatever his actions say about him, Sinbad is, at his core, a hero, only doing what he thinks is best for his people; by outright calling him a villain, Sinbad might be trying to tell us that Yunan exceeds the 'doing bad for a good reason' mark.
We know from earlier Magi chapters, as well as the Adventures of Sinbad manga, that Yunan is responsible for creating the dungeons. Sinbd is the ultimate dungeon conqueror, leaving the like of even the mighty Kouen in the dust. Clearly any history that might exist between them is linked to the dungeons and what Yunan's true purpose is in unleashing their power. For all we know Sinbad blames him for all the hell that has been unleashed by the vessels released from these dungeons.
Whatever the case i am quite excited to explore this relationship further. More importantly Alibaba is finally at Balbad, which means we can finally get into this new arc. I want to see Kouen and Sinbad talk.
+RATING:> 3/5, decent chapter, forebodes exciting things to come.
I initially thought that Sinbad was making very little progress in telling the story of its titular hero. Now that i think about it though, i cannot expect a story like this to barrel forward at break neck speed, not when its objective is to tell the story of how this legendary character rose to fame. I can understand where the author is coming from, allowing use a chance to view Sinbad both during times of epic adventure and simplistic fun, which is what these two chapters were largely about.
Following his escape from the empire, Sinbad finds himself adrift in an empty sea, void of food or fresh water; on the verge of death he encounters pipirika and her younger brother, fairly large persons from a tribe of somewhat gigantic people known as Imuchack. Sinbad learns of the rituals that precede one's entrance into manhood, the process of attaining one's name, through conquering the great rampaging unicorn, a prize Pipirika's brother has yet to attain.
Tickled by the sense of adventure Sinbad decides to join into this family endeavor of maturity.
The thing about Sinbad is i still have no idea where the hell it is going, mostly because the manga is so recent; we know so little about Sinbad even with all we have seen in Magi, which is both good and bad. Good in that there is a sense of unpredictability with each new chapter, bad in that i have nothing exciting to look forward to.
Unlike chapter 13, 14 proved to be somewhat entertaining for what it was, mostly because Sinbad finally unleashed Baal. I don't have as much of a problem with the direction this manga's taking as i initially did; Sinbad's story is one of adventure. Aladdin is all about saving the world; there are elements of fun and adventure of course, but the majority of the story centers around his mission as a Magi to safeguard humanity.
Sinbad doesn't have any such ties, so yes it makes sense that we would spend two whole chapters watching him trying to catch a giant unicorn whale. Because technically this is what i expect him to do, sailing the seas and getting into all sorts of mischief before finally finding his destiny. While not particularly excited about the manga, Sinbad prototype has so far managed to set itself apart from Magi and its story.
There was a time where i was afraid that the two series would meld into each other, each seemingly a mirror of the other; but Sinbad has managed to stand out, separate in story and structure from Magi, which allows me to feel like i am actually reading a separate manga rather than a side story of Magi.
+RATING:>3/5, not bad, funny; let's hope the next chapter is better.
So I came across this show while looking into [Magi the Labyrinth] of Magic on Wikipedia, Adventures of Sinbad being a spinoff of the highly popular Magi series. I have no idea how long it has been running, but with nine chapters i have to say that i was both pleasantly surprised and disappointed.
Before Sinbad was the great king of Sindria, leader of the seven seas Alliance, he was just a young boy, innocent, ordinary, naive in the ways of the world; living under the auspices of the Partevia Empire during its time of war with its neighboring empire Riem.
Before he was a warrior, Sinbad was a beloved child, son to veteran soldier Badr, spending most of his days assisting his village and providing aid to his ailing mother, taking life and its hardships one day at a time, that is until it arrived, the first dungeon Baal; a treasure trove of secrets and riches, rumored to contain within it a power that could make kings of men, a power that many had raided the dungeon to claim, men and women in the tens of thousands from both Partevia and Riem, none ever returning from the horrors within.
It is with a desperate heart and a courageous will that Siinbad sets out on his journey, with the aid of the Magi Yunan, to find the path to his destiny and conquer the very first dungeon…
This particular manga is still quite young in its run, though i am curious as to whether Ohtaka, Magi's mangaka is also responsible for this particular series. I immediately took steps to read this manga the moment i learnt about its existence mainly because of how amazing Magi is; i was curious to explore the life of Sinbad, the wondrous light as Aladdin described him in Magi, to understand how he began his journey and became the famed dungeon conqueror with a whopping seven Djiins in his possession (Alibaba is still struggling with just one).
On the one hand i will say that this manga is quite an impressive work and, despite what you might assume, it is just as good as Magi, a manga with nearly 200 chapters under its belt. The story is sad and tragic and chronicles the difficulties of life in a time where war and the thought of war has consumed all aspects of human life.
Sinbad couldn't be more different from Aladdin, though really since Aladdin is a Magi, a more logical comparison would be Alibaba and Sinbad. As a child Sinbad is every bit as emotionally bound and fiery tempered as Alibaba has proven himself to be in recent times, displaying a level of bravery and daring that Alibaba has only displayed in one or two rare moments.
Both characters could, in a way mirror each other, except that Alibaba grew under the mentoring of a wise Magi over a considerable amount of time before developing his particular brand of temperance and courage. Sinbad seems to have come into the world strong willed and stubborn, showing a willingness to risk his life at the slightest inkling that it might save another, unmoved or unthreatened by any power and ready to stand up to any authority that doesn't conform to his form of justice.
He is basically a born ruler and it is great fun to watch him evolve, not really developing but manifesting qualities worthy of a king under the guiding eye of Yunan.
Sinbad's story isn't particularly pleasant, and while the hook of the series is watching him try to overcome, this manga only thrives until about chapter 5. Without giving away particular spoilers, we get the entirety of Sinbad's origin, at least from his genesis as a child all the way to the end of his conquest of Baal, the first dungeon within the first five or so chapters. We are treated to five extremely fast paced chapters with a fluid and steadily narrated story.
What comes after this could pass for filler, basically a waste of four chapters. What the first five chapters do is that they provide us with a brief but action packed overview of how Sinbad came to enter the dungeon and, along with his rival at the time, the means through which he conquered it. After this we pretty muchreverse and go through the whole thing from the start, seeing exactly what led Sinbad and his rival to consider this particular quest, their lives prior and a blow by blow of exactly how they pushed through each and every level of the Dungeon.
Trust me, it gets boring fast, especially when you consider the cliff hunger the manga left us on following Sinbad's exit from the Dungeon. This is the only complaint i have to raise about this series and i hope the author breaks from this pointless two or three week old flashback (though the events with Sinbad's dad were pretty dark).
Speaking of which, I remember reading about Yunan in Magi as one of the three Magi in existence. I believe he is the one that goes around randomly creating Dungeons.
RATING:> This should be a 4/5, but considering how irritating those last chapters were, this is more of a 2/5. None the less if you loved magi, i recommend you read this series. If you are not a magi fan, i still recommend this as an independent series.
Howdy everyone! If you're a fan of Magi and watch last week's episode, Sinbad made his flashy appearance. Uh-huh, all the fan girls just fainted all over this guy. The first issue of Shogakukan's Weekly Shonen Sunday will publish the side story for Sinbad's origin story. It's titled: Sinbad no Bōken ~Prologue~ (The Adventures of Sinbad). The manga side story is illustrated by Yoshifumi Ōtera, and the concept is still Shinobu Ohtaka's.
In other news, the first Blu-Ray volume is released with the Sinbad story which is about 70 pages long. It'll will be released on January 30, 2013.
It's priced by 7,150 Yen (about $90 USD).
Other contents include two episodes of the anime ad a digest video , a making of the Maharajan Eve, and textless opening/ending sequences. Also, there is audio commentary on the first episode by Kaori Ishihara (Aladdin's VA), Yuki Kaji (Alibaba's VA), and Haruka Tomatsu (Morgiana's VA).
Finally, the bundle has a mail form for fans who are interested in the April 28 event, 3 Yunan stickers, an 8-page booklet with caster interviews and Magi news, and a jacket drawn by Toshifumi Akai.

We have bananas in our lunch everyday, so we always have a bunch on the counter. But this past summer we got a mess of fruit flies - which were awful! So I got a cake dome, and I put them under there and the fruit flies are gone. But it's not a very pretty solution for my newly remodeled kitchen. Does anyone have any better ideas? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Once the banana skin starts to get dark spots, I usually put them in the refrigerator and use them for cooking. Thus, minimize fruit flies. |
I don't have a great solution for storing bananas. I've tried the Debbie whatever green bags and might possibly get a few more days with those. But, I do know how to make a fruit fly trap. :) Put a piece of banana or its peel in a small bowl. Cover it with plastic cling wrap and poke several small holes with a toothpick. They can get in through the holes but can't get out. It's not a pretty sight, but it works. Pam |
Not liking too much on the counter, I use an under counter banana hook that folds up when not in use. It also keeps bruising down a little. No solutions for the fruit fly, I just try to manage the banana purchase. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Banana Hook
I use the green bags. NOT pretty, but blends in with the rest of the mess on my counter!! LOL They could be stored in a bag inside a cupboard though... Deanna |
Didn't someone here recently suggest putting out a small dish of vinegar to discourage the flies? I haven't tried it, but I know that I read it recently. |
- Posted by bumblebeez (My Page) on Tue, Sep 30, 08 at 13:44
I store them in a plastic bag in a cupboard. They last much longer that way. However, they will flavor nearby food (cereal in boxes, crackers, etc.) so I keep them in a cabinet without exposed food. |
- Posted by publickman (My Page) on Tue, Sep 30, 08 at 21:58
I often freeze them, peel and all, if I have too many. I've read that they keep longer if they are separated from each other, rather than kept in a bunch. As for the fruit flies - I'm trying the plastic wrap trap. Another trap you can make is to put out a glass of sweet Vermouth. The fruit flies fall in, get drunk, and drown. The problem with that is that it possibly attracts more fruit flies than you had in the first place, and then you end up with leftover nasty sweet Vermouth. Lars |
I can't believe no one suggested the Banana Bunkers. You could buy several of them and make a "lovely" arrangement for your kitchen counter! |
Here is a link that might be useful: Banana bunkers
dlynn you got there before me. I still have mine! For five points, does anyone outside of me remember who first posted the banana bunkers? |
- Posted by vacuumfreak (My Page) on Wed, Oct 1, 08 at 1:33
I shouldn't respond to this thread... The bananas I bought 4 days ago are still sitting on the love seat in the living room because I was too lazy to bring then all the way into the kitchen when I unloaded the groceries... which would have been about 4 feet in my small apartment. I can't put bananas away, yet it's 1:30 AM and I'm baking a chicken and a loaf of bread... go figure! I tried to freeze the bananas once so they wouldn't go bad as fast. I didn't like manipulating them when it was time to use them and it was hard to get them out of the peel. So, I just store them on the counter, but I've seen the hooks. Never had a problem with fruit flies because of bananas. However, we shan't talk about the sack of potatoes that rotted on the pantry floor a couple months ago. Fruit fly city! I made a trap with watermelon and a paper funnel on top of a cup but it didn't catch any of them. Where was the bowl of vinegar suggestion back then?! :-/ |
- Posted by girlsingardens (My Page) on Wed, Oct 1, 08 at 8:39
My dh has been on my case about the fruit flies lately. I told him that is just what happens when I am in the midst of canning and produce is still stragling in. I put a mix of dishwashing soap, vinegar, water and a couple fruit peels in a mayonaise jar and make a paper cone to fit in the top. It does a good job of attracting and killing the fruit flies, the morning after making a trap, there are plenty of dead flies in the jar. Stacie |

The 22-year-old pitcher only reached Double-A last year, three years after the Dodgers selected him with the 28th overall pick in the 2010 amateur draft. Only a strained right latissimus dorsi muscle suffered early in camp forced Lee to temper his expectations.
By waiting until Friday to make his Cactus League debut, Lee knows he's ticketed to the minors to start the season.
"Anytime you set a goal you want to set it high," he said. "If you set it too low, you'll probably meet it and get content with it."
Lee pitched two scoreless innings in the Dodgers' 2-1 victory over the Texas Rangers on Friday at Camelback Ranch. He allowed only two hits, walked none and had something to be proud of at the end of his long-awaited debut.
The right-hander from McKinney, Texas survived a loud leadoff double to Shin-Soo Choo — "a 2-1 fastball right down the middle that you don't want to throw," he said — to survive a 21-pitch first inning on consecutive ground-ball outs by Elvin Andrus, Mitch Moreland and Adrian Beltre.
After a smooth second inning in which he allowed a single to Jurickson Profar, Lee's day was over. He faced eight hitters, almost all major leaguers, and did not look out of place on the mound.
"He just looks like he belongs around the clubhouse, around the fields. He does everything well," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said. "He's got a clean delivery. We feel like he's going to be able to throw the ball where he wants. Just like in his composure — pretty much everything about him."
Lee has a preternatural calm in the presence of almost anyone — reporter, major leaguer, minor leaguer. He said he's tried to stay in the background like most rookies, while also trying to pick the veterans' brains.
"I've talked a lot with (Josh) Beckett and (Zack) Greinke," he said. "Probably Greinke a little more than Beckett from a baseball standpoint just because me and his game are kind of similar as far as our repertoire goes, how we pitch. It's always good to get an outside perspective, especially with a guy who's had the success he's had and kind of the similar stuff we have and how we approach the game."
Both pitchers share an analytical approach to baseball, something that impressed Dodgers management about Lee since his first days in the organization. Lee's numbers in his second season at Double-A Chattanooga were better in almost every category in 2013, when he was named the organization's pitcher of the year.
Lee took part in the Dodgers' prospect camp at Dodger Stadium in January. Finally on Friday, he had a chance to show everyone what he's gained since last season.
"Growing up, the way I looked at pitching, I was more of a cerebral, analytical person," he said. "I really thought more kind of gameplanning and what (Greg) Maddux did back in the day, where he was able to pinpoint location rather than overpowering people. I kind of took after them and that's where my game's developed."
Young power pitchers are often the first to reach the majors. The St. Louis Cardinals' Shelby Miller, a 2012 draft pick who beat the Dodgers twice in last year's National League Championship Series, is a protypical example.
Pitchers like Lee, who mix and match an assortment of pitches and rely more on location and guile, often take longer. This season marks his fourth in the organization and only his first major-league camp.
Lee said he threw all his pitches Friday and "some worked better than others." For Mattingly, the first impression was a good one.
"I think that's what you like about him: You see him around the clubhouse, the way he handles himself, gets after his work, does everything pretty well, takes fielding his position seriously, holding runners — all the things you don't get a lot of attention for — but we like everything about him."
Some more notes and observations:

She said "No, you're handsome"
Whispered in my ear, disappeared then found her dancing
from Kendrick Lamar – Sherane a.k.a. Master Splinter's Daughter Lyrics on Genius
Sherane responds to Kendrick's introduction by flirting with him and then walking away — playing "hard to get". Sherane also seems rather aloof, as are other females in Kendrick's stories.
This line relates back to the stripper reference earlier in the verse, since strippers typically flirt with men, flatter them, and then walk away to dance on stage.

This is a bit of bee info I came across a few months back and wanted to re-share it now that the weather has turned. I had previously posted it on my facebook page and was really happy to have gotten an email from an herbalist friend of mine who used this advice and was able to help a stranded bee.
The changeable weather catches bees out, leaves them cold and away from home which often kills them.
YOU CAN HELP. If you see a grounded or struggling bee just pick it up
with a piece of paper and put them in a warm sheltered spot. Feed them
some honey water, 1 part honey (local) to 2 parts water, using a pipette onto a suitable surface near by. It will fly away when it is
ready. If it is getting dark or the weather is unsuitable you can hang
on to it for a while. They will appreciate your kindness and pay you
Remember, if a queen is saved it may save a whole colony or generation. It only takes a minute and will directly help to reverse bee decline.
As always, please email any questions to email@example.com.

This couldn't be easier. I only had full flavor molasses, and that was fine. I also had some Grey Poupon, some maple mustard and then had to make my own from ground mustard. However, it was still very tasty. That said, it isn't the most exciting recipe in the world. But, for 2 minutes of prep time, I can hardly complain. Also, I cooked it in the oven as opposed to on the grill, which I'm sure would have been great if I had one!
Pretty foolproof recipe - I didn't have mild molasses, so I replaced 1/3 of the molasses with honey, and it turned out great. I agree with other readers that it is a good idea to make a double recipe of the marinade. I was worried that the pork would be dry after 20 minutes on the grill, but it was moist and full of flavor. I've made this twice already!
Enjoyed making this, especially thickening the sauce at the end - very tasty. In my experience though, you need to keep the meat moist on the grill, I made some extra marinade and basted the tenderloin throughout cooking, that way it was nice and juicy. Turned out well.
So easy and delicious! Don't have a grill so I baked it in the oven at 350 for about 50 mins. Pork was tender and moist and the sauce was so tasty!
This is a super easy recipe that never disappoints. Great for a summer BBQ - a real crowd pleaser.
This is a huge hit with family and friends every time I make it. It's very easy to do, yet comes out nice enough for special occassions. I use 1/2 honey and 1/2 regular molasses for the marinade/sauce. I usually double the marinade to have extra sauce. To cook it, I heat the (gas) grill very high for about 15 minutes, then turn off the burner on one side and cook the pork with indirect heat for 10 mins/side with the lid closed (fatter end of pork towards the heat). I cook the pork to a temp of about 150F for nice juicy slightly pink meat and let it rest for about 10 minutes covered with foil. I served this recently with asparagus roasted in the oven with olive oil, salt & pepper for 10 minutes while the pork rested - wonderful!
This sauce has a very, very strong flavor, which was only redeemed by the fact that the pork was so tough there was little that could be overwhelmed. The sugary marinade burned on my grill and made the crust far too chewy. For my money, the Pork Tenderloin with Rhubarb-Currant Chutney is a better grilled pork recipe by far.

Either a random moderator didn't know what pooting meant, or Nome really really really hates that type of play. Bonus conspiracy response: inFe eD is actually a rioter and doesn't want people to know about his inhouse shenanigans.
Wait did the thread I made get closed? And no one answered my question on what happened to pooters in the first place. I really liked that guy.
A Slime Appears
If I had to guess, a random mod rolled up to the thread and thought Infeed was being forealz, yo. Wanted to close the thread before **** got real.
Wait, we have mods? Where the hell were they for all the other problematic threads?
Pooterss went back to SR. Stay positive team! ^_^
Maybe they thought "pooting" was some kind of trolling or racist thing, dunno. BTW, the username is POOTERSS, not Pooterss.
Apparently 'poot' is another word for 'fart' according to google.

The State Basketball Tournament takes place annually on the first Saturday in March. There are three separate divisions and tournaments. The Challengers I tournament is for young men in the 6th through 9th grades. The Challengers II tournament is for young men in the 9th through 12th grades. The Young Adult Men's Ministry (YAMMs) tournament is for young men ages 18 through 35 that are not in high school. The young men must be members of/or associated with a local church.
Sport programs have the strong ability to attract a young man's attention and excite his interest. The basketball program is not only a tool for involvement of young men in the mission activity of their local church but can also be a tool for enlisting both young church men who do participate in missions and those who are outside the influence of the church as well.
For more information, contact:
Elgin Taylor State Basketball Tournament Director (713) 408-4906 email@example.com
Teams may be composed as follows:

BMI Calculator - Novice cannot get it working!
I have been asked by a friend to put together a BMI calculator. I know there are javascript ones already out there that I could use the code for, but
a) it needs to do a specific thing
b) I am interested in learning a bit of jscript - hence why I just spent about 4hrs trying to get it working
You can see what I have been working on here
Basically - what it needs to do is the following :-
- User can either enter Feet/Inches or centimeters for height
- User can either enter Stones/Pounds or Kilos for weight.
- If they enter Feeet/Inches and centimeters - it throws an error (similar thing for weight).
It then outputs the BMI to txtBMIResults.
I managed to get the validation working on not having both Stones/Pounds and Kilos filled in etc, but when it comes to the actual calculation - I am stumped.
If someone could look at this for me and hopefully code it and comment it so I can understand what has been done to get it working so I might learn, that would be fantastic.
Is the formulas for calculating BMI.
Not sure if you can tell from the code - but I was trying to get it so that the calculation was always done on Kilos and Meters, so I was taking the Stones and Pounds and feet and inches and trying to convert it to kilos and metres and then run the calculation.
Hope I have been clear.
Many thanks for any help anyone can offer
you need to look at your code using an error console. I like the firebug plug in for firefox, others prefer the built-in one in Chrome.
Anyway. The first error that pops is:
invalid assignment left-hand side
document.form.txtWeight_Kilos.value = "" &&
in javascript = assigns a value to a variable and == compares two variables. You can have a look here and here for more info

Thank you for that. I have installed Firebug now - sure it will come in handy!.
Using your tip about the == I have managed to get it working.
I know to most avid scripters this will be a nothing script - but I feel like I have accomplished something by getting this working.
Thank you again for your help.

I have two sets of stairs and a landing. Stairs are 6 then landing then 6 or so more. My cat has peed on the carpeting which was a continuation of carpeting for the upstairs. But that was pulled up.. I need to pull the stair carpeting up and put something there on a temporary basis. Actually the stairs underneath look pretty nice. Can I stain them a waterbase color just to seal it and tack on a cheap runner. Is staining okay to do for now then If I get wood floors installed someday the stairs would be done to. So looking for a cheap fix for now after a pull the smelly carpeting up! |

If the stairs were previously varnished under the carpet, maybe you can just clean the smell off with a strong detergent. If unfinished, I think a sealer is needed to cover the absorbed smells. Shellac is really great a sealing odors, and is more easily removed than varnish or poly, or stain for that matter. You may want to paint the verticals (risers) and stain the treads, that's a classic look, then add the runner. Casey |
Sounds good, What sheen of white paint should I use? |
- Posted by sombreuil_mongrel (My Page) on Wed, Aug 5, 09 at 20:05
Sheen; match whatever the other trim in the vicinity is wearing. Semi-gloss is the standard. Casey |
Just a thought what about DURA seal water based stain Can that be used?? If hardwood floor stair treads were to be installed at a later date. I doubt it would make a difference what I use. I'm putting this I assume on Pine, or whatever they made prefab stairs in 23 years ago? Thanks |

What kind of ground cover do you use near the house? I've always heard wood chips and mulch are bad because they attract termites. I've been using pinestraw, but I feel like I am replacing it twice a year which seems like a lot? |

Depends what effect you are seeking. It's true about termits and wood chips, but rocks can be a bare to spread and pine needles I don't like because of flipped butts. |
I hate pine straw, I only use it on hillsides. I use pine bark mulch. We just had our house treated for termites so I don't worry about it. |
Pinestraw is very poplular in my area. I replace it once a year when I'm feeling cheap. It looks great though when it's new. |
We just got rid of the pine straw. I simply just hate the look. Instead we put in cedar mulch, which doesn't attract termites. |

text: About 5 years ago my wife came home from her brother's house with this box of 9mm lrn reloads for me. I remember thinking "WTH am I gonna do with these old things". I rediscovered them last night and was actually glad to see them after "the Great Ammo Shortage". Anyway I noticed one of the rounds has a dimpled primer. What do y"all think? Did somebody re-use a primer or is it a dud? FWIW the ammo was probably reloaded by my wife's grandfather sometime before he died in 2006.

Best time to take a vacation to Seattle
Best Time to Go
Seattle vacations can take individuals to a variety of different locations, since the climate and happenings in the area are so diverse. In the summer, visitors might want to enjoy the ocean and take advantage of the drier weather. The winter months bring the most rain, which can be a bit unpleasant when combined with colder temperatures. As a result, prices are cheaper during the winter. Do not miss Seattle during the summer when the Pike Place Market, with its unique shops and produce stands, is in full swing and the Seattle Mariners are playing at the breathtaking Safeco Field.
Insider tips for Seattle travel
Seafair Cup
Visit Seattle during the Seafair Cup, a hydroplane boat race held in mid-summer on Lake Washington.
5th Avenue Theater
Take in a Broadyway-style performance at the 5th Avenue Theatre, built in 1926.
Space Needle Tower
Check out the Space Needle Tower, built in 1962, with its fantastic view of the city and a restaurant for hungry visitors.
Puget Sound
Seattle travel is not complete without a tour of Puget Sound, as countless tours leave from the piers daily and provide an incredible experience.
Gasworks Park
Gasworks Park, located just north of downtown, provides outstanding views of the city and the ocean, as well as being important historically.
Seattle highlights
Space Needle
Seen from Frasier's balcony in the eponymous TV series, this Seattle icon is due to celebrate its 50th birthday in 2013. What better way to salute this skyline stunner than by paying it a visit. If you want to treat yourself on your Seattle travels, eat at the revolving Sky City restaurant. Otherwise, just hop in the elevator to the best city views in the Northwest, with everything from Mount Rainier to Elliott Bay just a camera click away.
Pike Place Market
The iconic Seattle Public Market is a must for any Seattle vacation. Set on the pier and boasting some of Seattle's oldest vendors, Pike Place Market is a must any time of the year. While there's a lot of touristy stuff to wade through, there are also loads of quality fresh produce and Seattle specialties. Visit early morning to see those famous flying fish.
Original Starbucks
Coffee giants may or may not be your thing, but the world's first Starbucks is worth a stroll by. You can grab a cappuccino if you'd like, but the real treat is the barbershop quartet that sings out the front each day.
Seattle Aquarium
This family-friendly destination reveals Seattle's maritime character. Watch colorful sea anemones sway in massive tanks, or take the kiddies to a dive show. Stroke sea critters in the Puget Sound tide pools, or watch a fish feeding frenzy in the Underwater Dome. While admission to Seattle Aquarium is about $20 for ages 13 and up, it's free for children ages 3 and under.
Pacific Science Center
With an IMAX theater, planetarium, laser dome, science exhibits and live demos, this place is perfect for visiting with the kids in tow on your Seattle travels. The exhibits cost a budget-friendly $14 for adults and $9 for kids, while IMAX theatre admission costs extra.

Closed loop trials were performed in four patients for a mean duration of 5 hours (range of 2-7 hours) and included a meal of 30 grams of carbohydrates. The mean Low Blood Glucose Index was 0.02 (range 0-0.06), the mean High Blood Glucose Index was 9 (range 4.2-15), and the median Daily Risk Range was 'low' (range 'low' to 'moderate').
The poster was presented in New Orleans by Matthew Percival of Doyle's research group. Other researchers in the study included Dr. Eyal Dassau, senior investigator, and Dr. Benyamin Grossman, both of Doyle's group; and Sansum's Dr. Lois Jovanovic, CEO and Chief Scientific Officer, and Dr. Howard Zisser, Director of Clinical Research.
The research is part of the artificial pancreas project, which is funded by the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and is being conducted by an international group of diabetes research centers. The project's first goal is to integrate an insulin pump and continuous blood glucose monitor to closely replicate a healthy pancreas for patients with type 1 diabetes--patients whose pancreases no longer produce insulin, which is used by the body to control blood glucose levels. An artificial pancreas will allow for tighter and automated control of blood glucose levels, which would significantly help to avoid the long-term complications of the disease.
UC Santa Barbara is a leading research institution. The two groups at UCSB involved in this study are the Department of Chemical Engineering, in 2007 ranked ninth in the United States and second in the University of California by U.S.

Oasis Gets Their Classic Song "Wonderwall" #deCODED
As one of the biggest and best songs of the 1990s, "Wonderwall" by Oasis will go down in history as one of the best UK singles of all time. Therefore, it was a treat to witness Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher put all of his negativity and controversy aside for his performance of the epic song at the Summer Olympics closing ceremony. As we were watching, we thought to ourselves: just what does this song really mean? We #decoded one of the best songs of all time to find out...
Today is gonna be the day that they're gonna throw it back to you
By now you shoulda, somehow, realized what you gotta do
I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now
Already, we know we're getting into a deep song by the first part of the song. The narrator is singing to his love interest, letting her know that even though people might turn against her, she needs to hold her ground, and he will support her no matter what.
Back beat, the word is on the street that the fire in your heart is out
I'm sure you've heard it all before but you never really had a doubt
I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now
The "fire in her heart", aka her life's energy, has been put out by people not believing in her. It's not a new thing for her to be feeling this way, but again, the narrator lets her know he feels positively for her (since everyone else seems to be against her) to help her keep going.
And all the roads we have to walk are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I would like to say to you
But I don't know how
The narrator tells her that the path of life is a windy one, with lots of unexpected turns that you cannot control. You can also be overwhelmed by the lights that lead you to inner peace. He wants to tell her he loves her so much, but he doesn't know how because she is so fragile.
Because maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all
You're my wonderwall
Even though he appears to be saving her with all of his advice, in reality, the girl in question is also saving him because he simply loves her. She's his wonderwall (which is, according to Oasis, "an imaginary friend who's gonna come and save you from yourself").
Today was gonna be the day but they'll never throw it back to you
By now you shoulda, somehow, realized what you're not to do
This is a slight variation on the song's first verse. Now, she's being thrown messages about what and what not to do!
I said maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
You're gonna be the one that saves me
You're gonna be the one that saves me
Again, even though the narrator is offering so much advice in the song about how life is hard but we must get through it, he needs to be saved too, and the only one who can do it is his "wonderwall".
Do you have a different idea about what the song means? Let us know!

From Creep to Clickable: Radiohead's Famous Homeless Fan Makes Good
Last month, in honor of the 20th anniversary of Radiohead's "Creep," SPIN ranked 10 of the enduring single's most clicked cover versions. A week later, we received an e-mail from our No. 3, the so-called "Homeless Mustard," whose stirring rendition for Sirius XM's Opie and Anthony has racked up over 9 million YouTube views since he recorded it on a winter morning in 2009. As it turns out, Daniel Mustard not only has a roof over his head now, but a new EP, Fragments of Bone, which he funded by raising $16,262 on Kickstarter. We caught up with the cleaned-up artist to talk about the pros and cons of living with schizos, the parallels between busking and Kickstarting, and the song that helped pull him from "the depths of hell."
The world's introduction to you was as a homeless man beautifully covering Radiohead's "Creep." What do you remember about that experience?
I was living in [New York's] Washington Square Park, a stinking drunken bum. I was brought onto show to participate in a gag they do called "Homeless Shopping Spree," where they give homeless people a bunch of money and ship them out to a mall somewhere, the joke being how surburbanites respond. It was a nice alternative to going to central booking, which was my other option.
It was early in the morning. I was already drinking. I had a wake-up bottle of vodka, which you can see — the orange juice — sitting next to me in the clip. I didn't know who Opie and Anthony were, or put any significance on where I was. I think they were looking for crazy people, and they were surprised to find someone relatively normal. I mentioned I play, write songs and sing, so they brought me a guitar.
I started off with my own song, "The Last Time We Met," and they were blown away, so they said, "play a cover." I used to play a whole set of them in the park every day, but I couldn't remember any of those. I hadn't owned a guitar in months, I was at my lowest point, and all I could think about was "Creep. " I knew it well because it was significant to me when it came out 20 years ago and I was in high school.
What were the first signs that the video was becoming a bit of a phenomenon?
I played a few more songs, they gave me a bunch of money, and then I left. I went out and bought a big bottle of Svedka and a bag of socks and I didn't think another thing of it. Three days later I was on Broadway and I approached this kid trying to a bum a cigarette, and he was like, "Hey, you're Mustard!" Then he told me about the "Creep" clip and how it had hundreds of thousands of hits.
What really started to affect me was people contacting me through Facebook. That made me laugh and cry. I'd literally had 75 friends. Now I have two accounts and 8,000 friends. I received message after message from people all over, saying how much it affected them, how much it moved and inspired them. When you're a bum living in a park, it's like, "How the fuck could I be an inspiration to anyone?"
What did that song mean to you what does it mean to you now?
I always felt like a misfit in high school, and I went to a performing arts high school, which is a whole group of misfits, really. So I related to that feeling of inadequacy or unworthiness. It only occurred to me much later that it'd strike people as poignant to see a homeless man singing, "I'm a weirdo, what the hell am I doing here?"
Where are you living now? Did having an audience help you get clean?
When you're homeless, you're invisible to people — like literally. They will step over you, ignore you when you talk, look right through you. It's a really haunting thing to experience every day. So to suddenly have people who wanted to know my name, who wanted details about my life...that was a huge influence.
I live in a shelter in Chelsea, on a bay with about 30 men. There are two bays per floor and about five floors, so it's a strange environment to say the least. Most are just out of prison, and it's a "mentally ill and chemically addicted" shelter, so it's pretty rock'n'roll. There are lots of schizophrenics, who can be fun, but they do not forgive and they do not forget. That's actually what "Last Time" is about.
There are three meals a day and a 10 p.m. curfew, which is kind of a pisser, because I might be at the studio and have to leave. All shows have to be booked at, like, 6 p.m. But having an audience helped me rediscover a will to live, which is the basis of all that "trying to get better." Living in the park and staying shitfaced was my version of crawling into a hole and dying. I was trying to drink myself to death.
You funded your new Fragments of Bone EP via Kickstarter. Do you see a connection between that and busking in the street?
Absolutely! Don't you? Spare change, man! Although I never made much busking. I'd play songs, and people would gather and listen and clap and even thank me, but they wouldn't give me their money. I made more sitting on a piece of cardboard crying to myself. Kickstarter seemed like the logical thing to do. I had this audience who have been on this whole journey and struggle with me. They are part of it.
One backer bought the $450 "homeless walking tour." Have you done it yet?
Well, she lives in California and is disabled, so she isn't actually able to travel, but what we've done in lieu of that is shoot video of me giving a tour of the park and Greenwich Village — places that mean things to me — and we'll put that together and send that to her, plus probably use the footage for something else too.
Ever hear from Radiohead's camp? Or heard that they heard it?
I have not, and it's my understanding Radiohead doesn't do that song anymore. A lot of acts scoff at the music that made them famous. I never quite understood that. Me, I'll probably be doing "Creep" for the rest of my life, and I think I'm okay with that. I know a lot of people who are still in the streets. There is nothing like this for them. There is no option, there is no road, there are no bootstraps.

Apple Butter and Pecan Cinnamon Rolls
You can eat these today different ways. The bottom has an amazing pecan brown sugar topping, so you can flip it onto a plate, or you can make the gooey icing I've included in the recipe to make it a total sugar bomb. I served it with the icing on it and it was a huge hit, but I can imagine the rolls with just the pecan filling and a cup of black coffee would be the best pairing ever in history.
This pastry is a total pecan and sugar bomb with icing. Wash it down with a cup of black coffee and your morning is automatically on the right track.

• 4 tbsp butter, room temperature (important!)
• 2 cups confectioners (Icing) sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 3-6 tbsp hot water
1. In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water and set aside. In a large bowl mix milk, sugar, melted butter, salt and egg. Add 2 cups of flour and mix until smooth. Add yeast mixture. Mix in remaining flour until dough is easy to handle. Knead dough on lightly floured surface for 5 to 10 minutes. Place in well-greased bowl, cover with a towel and let rise until doubled in size, usually 1 to 1½ hours in a closed microwave.
2. When doubled in size, punch down dough. Roll out on a floured surface into a 15 by 9-inch rectangle. Spread melted butter all over dough. Mix apple butter, pecans, and brown sugar and pour it over the dough (I used a spatula to spread it). Beginning at the 15-inch side, role up dough and pinch edge together to seal. Cut into 12 to 15 slices.
3. Mix the melted butter, brown sugar, and pecans together over low-medium heat in a small saucepan. Whisk until thoroughly mixed and take off of heat. Spread it evenly into the bottom of the 9″ round pan. Place the rolls on top and let sit in a closed microwave for 45 minutes until doubled in size. A friend of mine suggested that if you're not a morning person, you can put the dough covered overnight in the fridge and bake it in the morning.
4. Bake at 350F (176C) for 30 minutes or until nicely browned (here in CO, it may take closer to 25), making sure to check that the center of the cinnamon rolls are equally done. Meanwhile, mix together all of the icing ingredients and put them in a plastic squeeze bottle. (You can also just drizzle the icing, but I'm a bit of a perfectionist.)
5. Let the rolls sit for ten minutes then drizzle on the icing if you're using it. Then eat them warm because (and I'm so serious) nothing in the world is better than a warm cinnamon roll.
